I was wetting myself by the end of this comment by ChickenGeorgeVII over on the Fark thread about NYC power outages (oh yeah, and some place named St. Lewis…):
Live in area…
FRIDAY - power out, trees down, carnage and destruction, dogs and cats making love, no cable or phones, cell towers down, started forming tribes amongst neighbors.
SATURDAY - still no power, boiling all water, all food has spoiled, no law enforcement, no relief, wildlife eating at my car, children from other tribes stealing my batteries, responded by looting their generator, using bathroom in the woods and pine cones for toilet paper, hunting wild boar for food, declared war on tribe across the street.
SUNDAY - still no power water etc, drinking blood of dead children of other tribes, selling remaining children in exchange for AA batteries with a few minutes of juice remaining, eating raw rats and rancid cabbage for solids, using the bathroom wherever I damn well please, no longer respecting my own tribemates and thinking of selling their children for used pine cones.
MONDAY - Power comes back on. Microwave a can of Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Beefaroni and invite neighbor over to make nice and watch cartoons, trying to train myself to stop pooing in the mailbox and use the toilet again.
Ahh, good times… Reminds me of a radio spot I’ve heard lately around town. It’s a random clip on 98.1 out of Spartanburg that says “Men and women sleeping on the beach, side by side”. Every time I hear it, I can’t help but think about Bill Murray in Ghostbusters talking about how all hell is breaking loose when he says “Cats and dogs, living together - mass hysteria!”. Ah, what a great movie…
Lol that was a funny article.
Awesome post! I was cracking up by the end of the quote.
I could not however let Ghostbusters go misquoted, you uncultured fool!
…you..umm…mismatched dogs and cats….
and here’s the whole thing
[quote] Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - MASS HYSTERIA!
Mayor: Enough! I get the point!
